Can I adjust the size Firefox maximizes to, since it leaves a small sliver of space on the left-hand side, even when maximized?

When I have my dock set to the left-hand side of my screen, Firefox maximizes to all but a small sliver of space on the left hand side. Is there a way to change the default maximized window parameters (in about:config or something), or is there an add-on that will allow you to do it?

Yes, you just have to get your hands a little dirty. Window size is allegedly set localstore.rdf within your profile folder (OS-generalizability of that statement is unconfirmed)

There is no localstore.rdf on my computer. I searched the /Library and didn't even find anything for Mozilla or Firefox and then searched the entire HD for "localstore.rdf" and found one I had saved for an old Firefox version pre-synch. Thanks, though

In Mac OS X v10.7 and later, the $HOME/Library folder is a hidden folder.

Open Finder and use one of these:

  • Go > Go To Folder (Shift-Command-G) and in the dialog type: ~/Library
  • Open the "Go" menu and hold down the Option key to make the Library appear

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
